1. Choose a Time SignatureExample: 4/4 means 4 beats per measure.2. Decide the Beat ValuesUse notes like:Quarter note (1 beat)Half note (2 beats)Eighth note (1/2 beat)Rest (for silence)3. Arrange the Notes to Fill the MeasureMake sure the total value equals the number of beats in the time signature.Example (4/4 time):| Ta | Ta | Ti-Ti | Ta || 1 beat | 1 beat | 1 beat (½ + ½) | 1 beat |Total = 4 beatsThis is a basic rhythmic pattern using simple notes.
